Nanoscale decoupling of electronic nematicity and structural anisotropy in FeSe thin films

Here, in contrast to previous observations in Fe-based superconductors, scanning tunnelling microscopy of strain-patterned FeSe thin films reveals a local decoupling of electron nematicity and structural anisotropy, pointing towards a stiffness of the nematic order parameter at the nanoscale.
